The Fort St. James Secondary School Ski and Board Team competed at Zones in Jasper, Alberta on Feb. 8-9.

Of the 28 student athletes who competed, 21 have qualified for the Provincials in Fernie, B.C. on Feb. 28-March 2.

According to head coach, Sarah Grill, Fort St. James Secondary was the only school in their zone, spanning from Smithers to McBride, to have all four teams qualify for the provincials.

“We are very proud of them and their success can be attributed to their sheer determination and commitment to the team and training time,” Grill said.

“And we would like to thank our great community and our local hill, Murray Ridge, for their continued support.”
